I don't think reef cleaners keep fish, do they? If shrimp or other CUC are part of inverts you are looking for

That was my first thought.
I looked at the Reef Cleaners website and didn't see any fish for sale.

Reef Cleaners confirmed in email to me that they don't keep fish so that's true.

The only potential concern is that there's no guarantee how long the inverts have been isolated (away from fish) before shipping, so not quite a safe as fully quarantined inverts like from Dr. Reefs.

I actually haven't but I have thought about.
*I usually just get from LFS and quarantine myself for >45 days

I did purchase some quarantined inverts from Dr. Reefs (when I was buying 1 fish anyway) one time and was completely satisfied with that interaction.

True and while Dr Reef is my go to fish vendor, I'll probably always order inverts from Reef Cleaners.

Have you ordered from reef cleaners?

I did for my new tank setup. I ordered one of his prebuilt packages for a 40 breeder along with a tiger conch. Overnight shipping and everything arrived alive and healthy.

We’re all your fish healthy afterwards? Parasites and diseases coming in on inverts is my main concern.

No issues at all. I moved over 4 of my fish from my nano to the new tank and then added the CUC. No issues at all.

I would ask reefcleaners.

I have used them at least 3 times, all very successful.
